Anybody know what this frag is?

[Amphibious]

I was given this frag by a LFS for doing him a favor. He didn't have a clew what it is. I have an inkling but want your input, too. I believe the coral was not under proper lighting. While it has good color, the polyps are just coming out and I've had it for a week. any guesses?

oh here we go again, shatter cast 101, i'll take a stab and say it looks somewhere along the lines of acropora loripes

without digging up the proper name it looks sorta like a blue tort to me

[pham411]

idk, but nice frag!!

ill take a guess though. acropora validia?

[wwest]

I'll take a stab. I would say either a Purple Bonsai Acropora or a Blue Tort. Either way its a very nice frag. A Great coral, but expensive

Ha, V, This isn't another one of those. I really am not sure of what it is. I'm leaning toward Acropora tortuosa, the blue tort. I think it was stressed at the LFS. I still only see minimal polyp extension. Here's a pic from today...



No change.

It is an Echinata Tort.

Fancier name: Super Ultra Echinata Tort, Eye-popping deep pacific blue morph.




V, a lorites is more knobby.
